    Yes contrary to popular belief running a forum is almost a full time job, did you get this weeks paycheck yet ? :)

    Hi Stu,

    Humour really is a mystical black art for you, isn't it?:biggrin:

    As you seem to want to interpret my post as a serious set of reasons for maintaining oz300zx.com, I will answer some of your offensive(and not so offensive assumptions) as best I can.

    Firstly, I did NOT go around "bad mouthing" this forum, either then or since.
    I, like all the other Mods on that site, was invited to accept the Moderator role, and I accepted.
    All the Mods on that site, volunteered to make a one time monetary donation to assist in setting up the domain. This was never intended as anything other than a sign of good will(and commitment to the success of the site).
    I do not claim ownership of all or part of that forum.
    In

    my role as a moderator, I never needed to involve myself in anything other than minor housekeeping and answering the occasional request for help(the in fighting and backstabbing that frequently broke out on this site, was not evident on the new site, and so never became an issue).
    Your comments about the value or volume of my input on that site, is not a subject on which you should sit in judgement(given your admitted lack of knowledge on that matter).
    Your remark about my being "left in the ditch" is not only ill informed, it is also highly insulting(but that says more about you, than it does about me).

    I have never suggested that I wished to be a Moderator on this site, so your advice on this is purely speculation on your part, and has no basis in fact.
    In my 66 years of life, I have never been unemployed(once I entered the workforce at age 16) and so any suggestion that I lack the motivation to work, hard or otherwise, is also irrelevant.

    On the subject of banning, let me speak as someone with experience, the more someone is banned, the less it impacts upon them and it quickly loses the desired effect of the original punishment.

    Please do something about your appalling lack of humour, you could benefit enormously from picking up some skill in that area(and who knows, you may even enjoy it).:p:biggrin::biggrin:

    I thought it was cool when it catered more towards motorsport than this site but in the past couple of years i don't think there has been much going on aside from "aus300 forum down" posts...

    My suggestion is move all of the tech posts into ZRT and then shut it down. No point keeping "coming events" which have been and gone and "group buys" which have long since closed...

    I think I have the innate ability to put up the sh!t I get on a near daily basis doing this volunteer role. I just shrug it off.
    I don't begrudge doing it, most of the time I enjoy it.
    After the Email I just received from Paul, I'm disgusted.
    Accusations, insinuations, even telling me that his regular customers think I am a bad person.
    Asking me what I threatened Pete with, and that I am a coward.

    I'd love to actually post it up, most of you would blow your cool I'd think.

    If only Paul's personality was a good as his prices.

    anyway, back on topic.

    Sorry to hear Greg :( Sad that you have to deal with this sort of thing, but take heart in knowing that all of us that know you think you are quite the opposite of a bad person :D and I am one of Pauls customers - spent $3000 a couple weeks back and another $1700 shortly...

    Hi Greg(you lowlife):p

    Welcome to the elite ranks of STS enemies. You find yourself in the company of people such as JP at UAS, Rob260, Caz at Caz Racing and myself(just to mention a few).
    I'm sure we will be joined by other notable characters before too long(and some people are calling for Pauls return?....You're joking).

    LOL Lloyd surely my liberal use of smilies would indicate I was taking the piss while trying to ask some serious questions at the same time.

    Im not sure why you took my post so personally it was definitely not the intention.

    I think it's mainly a product of his wisdom...Chili is far too wise to be even the least bit effected by humour from another party. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

    STS

    must have contacted some one before he set up shop, he wouldn?t have just lobbed at oz, unannounced.
    And if that was the case, why wouldn?t he be told right then and their of the sites immanent shut down.

    dont worry pex, im sure the forum knows you well enough to know you have no ill-intentions.

    in regards to oz300, i'll put forward a vote to have the forum merged with aus300, and the oz300 link forwarded to aus300 so anyone on oz300 who is unaware of, or finds it, can come here.

    oh, and incorperate the lap time/dyno/drag list links at the top middle/right of the screen.. since the aus300 logo is so tiny.
